The Turn2U Scholarship Program provides educational scholarships to children and dependents of The Last Mile students and alumni, helping the next generation pursue college, vocational training, and career opportunities that can change the trajectory of entire families.
Across The Last Mile’s Education and Reentry programs, more than 75% of returned citizens secure employment after release and fewer than 8% return to prison.
The Turn2U Scholarship Program extends that work to the next generation by helping children, grandchildren, and dependents of our students pursue higher education, career training, and economic mobility.
